This book describes how the origins of the New Thought movement, the uniquely American spiritual philosophy that developed at the turn of the 20th century, can be found in the oldest philosophical systems of humanity, and how it is closely connected with the revival of Transcendentalism which occurred in America about 1800 to 1825. The text of this new edition has been edited into gender neutral language in recognition of the author's desire to bring the insights of New Thought to all people. Gender neutral language is a subtle but important way to promote equality, and equality is at the core of Atkinson's thinking. It also includes the author's "Working Creed", a summary of both his personal beliefs and the New Thought system in general. This new, gender neutral edition brings Atkinson's insights to a new generation of readers in need of his timeless insights.
